Midway. Message from the Gyre
These photographs of albatross chicks were made in September 2009 on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand
and coral near the middle of the North Pacific. The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their
parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their
young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation,
toxicity, and choking.
To document this phenomenon as faithfully as possible, not a single piece of plastic in any of these photographs
was moved, placed, manipulated, arranged, or altered in any way. These images depict the actual stomach contents of
baby birds in one of the world's most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent.
